    Illegal immigration is a problem in the United States, but deportation is not the solution. Mass deportation will cause more harm than good to both the individual families and the economy. A better solution to illegal immigration would be to provide a path to citizenship. Providing illegal immigrants with an opportunity for them to obtain citizenship would not only keep families together, but citizenship would also provide greater economic benefits. There are many reasons why providing illegal immigrants with a path to citizenship would be beneficial. Many illegal immigrants already benefit society. Illegal immigrants occupy most of the jobs that American citizens won’t do.

      Thanks for sharing the framework to your path to citizenship solution. I’m curious to hear more on how a path to citizenship would benefit our economy. You might also consider appealing to your skeptic who immediately believes this solution would lead to an increase in crime and/or a loss of jobs for Americans.
